Unfortunately it seems that the Quartz.Net API documentation that is available online is not complete. Since I would like to link to some of these classes and interfaces from some of my posts, I’m going to start adding them as separate posts, all tagged as documentation.

Creating a Quartz.Net job is pretty straightforward. First, you must implement the IJob interface. The IJob interface is pretty simple. Here it is:
